DRESSES + JUMPSUITS:

below the knee + no thin straps.

Everyone puts their best foot forward at Ascot, so expect a sea of elegant dresses and, of course, sculpture-worthy hats and fascinators. Our edit of midi and maxi dresses includes many Ascot-appropriate styles, from fluid silk in bold block colours, to soft floral prints and timeless polka dots. 

The dress code states that off-the-shoulder and strapless necklines aren’t permitted, so choosing something with long flowing sleeves like our Silk Full-Length Dress + Tie in Papaya Orange or green Tulip print is an extra safe bet.

Certain sleeveless styles like our Stencil Meadow Print Maxi Dress + Corsage are ideal, since the straps are wider than 1 inch. Or if you prefer something with a short but statement sleeve, look to the Botanical Print Midi Dress in Raspberry Red.  

Despite their wildly on-brand name, jumpsuits have only been allowed at Ascot since 2017. A great alternative to dresses with just as much, if not more, dramatic effect, our edit of raceday-approved styles includes bold colours like Raspberry Red or Event-Ready Green styles made from fluid silk crepe, or statement gold metallic tweed.

WINNING TAILORING:

matching colour + fabric.

We’ll never pass up on the opportunity for a great tailoring moment, and the races are the perfect time to make a suiting statement among a sea of dresses. A couple of things to note if you’re thinking of taking the tailored route: jackets + trousers should match in colour and fabric, and under-suit layers must comply with the dress code. 

Go for gold in our podium-worthy metallic three-piece suit set, the blazer, waistcoat and trousers all come in fluid twill that emits a subtle shimmer and is soft against the skin. Stand out in the crowd in this season’s hottest shade with our Lipstick Red suit, or opt for a more muted note in our Vanilla summer tailoring.

UNDER SUIT PARINGS:

must be dress code approved.

The dress code extends to what’s worn beneath tailoring and jackets, so make sure your under-suit pairings fit the bill by choosing a fluid silk blouse or a smartly tailored waistcoat. The same neckline rules apply for tops as they do for dresses: no strapless, one-shoulder, halter necks or off-the-shoulder shapes.

FIRST PLACE EXTRAS

the perfect finishing touch.

A day in the stands calls for practical yet polished accessories. While we may not be well-versed in fascinators - we’ll leave that to the expert milliners - we know a thing or two about sun-shielding sunglasses and compactly crafted bags.
